Seems like a good place for a yo' momma joke.

I'm not going to make one, just saying it seems like it would be a good place for one.

Just one; my now-ex girlfriend. I don't have sex with someone before I feel serious about her. Mainly because I fear STDs.

I have to confess. I generally can't avoid reading "STD" as "StormTrooper Disease". And then I smile and worry that somebody thinks I find STDs to be funny.

Been with 8 partners. Majority of them were one-nighters or #$%^-pals. There's been about three of them that were relationships. Though it's been about 3 years since the last time I had sex.
My roommate seems to think I get it all the time. I guess when I tell him "I have a date tonight" he interprets it as "I'm getting lucky tonight".
In truth I prefer girls who are a little more reserved. I've thought of sex lightly in the past, but all and all I just want to find someone who cares about me enough that she wants to share that moment with me.

It wouldn't bother me at all, but the average isn't quite as high for girls, usually. They're pickier. Also, social stigmas and whatnot.

I've had sex without a condom with exactly ONE girl, though, and that was after being together in a committed relationship for a year, and she was on the pill. It just made economic sense.

Oh man, a decent-looking "gringo" would easily double that average, most mexican girls go nuts for foreign men.

Which is sort of a boon for pale white dudes like me.

Gah! so close! Well, it might not be that bad. If a decent looking gringo can double the average, perhaps a homely gringo can still meet the average. I STILL HAVE A CHANCE!

China has been a real boon for me *whistle*, although now that I have a steady girlfriend here, that kind of activity has been limited to a single person, but zero complaints here

I rather discuss my sexual adventures over drinks.

Discussing it over the internet is sooooo cyber.

:D

I hit 76 this week.

And I've used a condom every time unless it was a committed relationship and we both got tested.

How? Well, I used to be skinny and cute. For example:

This right here.

I didn't lose my virginity to a female til I was 19. After that it just kinda... Went slow. A girl every couple of months and only after we'd been dating for awhile. When I started working for Universal I picked up the pace a little bit. After my daughter was born, I got really depressed and ended up going on Paxil again. While I was on Paxil I just DIDN'T care. So there I was, waiting tables by day and bouncing at a bar by night... And every night I'd just go home with whoever bought me a shot.

I'm not proud of the girls I went home with, but at least I kept myself safe. I've been tested every three months since the day I became sexually active. I've never had an STD. Unless you count my daughter.

NOW do you understand why SEVEN seemed like such a weird number to me!?

I know people who are hitting triple digits. Hell, the never-been-married good-looking but kinda-douchey uncle of one of my best friend's recently called my friend's dad to show off his 500th "notch".

The guy is in his 40's and wastes his inherited money on going out "for chicks" every weekend, but still.. you understand my surprise at SEVEN.

Between the gay clubs (which pretty much is just a hive of people looking to get laid and drunk, though I'm sure most clubs end up like that.), the strip-club, and our swinger's club, it's not really hard to get the number in your head.

Now you want a sad number? Try how many I had before I was 22. Growing up in a Ultra-Catholic Hispanic home, a very strict Catholic Hispanic town, at a very strict Catholic Hispanic (not church run) school. Yeah, it was pretty impossible for me to find a partner, much less one to go very far with.

Before I was 22 my number was 1. I'm not Catholic and wasn't raised in an ultra-religious household or neighborhood. I dated my high school boyfriend for nearly 5 years, even after we graduated. I thought he was the one I was going to spend my life with. Such a silly little girl I was.

[Generic 'poop deck' joke], huh, Tin? ;)

Nah... Just kidding. My army time gave me no new numbers - mostly because I was going steady with the Queen Bitch at the time (and didn't yet realize how I was getting played). Granted, her reaction to me wearing the uniform was similar to Shego's whenever HowDroll makes a reference to her sexual life.

Girlfriend made up for you. Her time in the Navy doubled her digits.

I don't dislike the idea of having a ton of sexual partners for religious reasons or moral reasons... and I don't think less of people for it either. It's a very personal choice... none of my business. And I'm happy to hear that most people who have sex with many different people are safe. :)

I can't wrap my head around the idea of having sex with someone I barely know. I don't trust people enough, and as great as sex can be, I couldn't imagine sharing that part of myself with someone who I don't completely trust. I don't think I have the capacity to "let go" that much. I don't think of it as having fun or just sowing my wild oats. It's a truly frightening thought for me, and it's why I never wonder about what I'm missing, I suppose.

Again, that's just me. Sometimes I think about what would happen if, God forbid, Jake and I ever split up. How would I survive in the dating world where it seems so common to have sex after knowing someone for such a short amount of time? Would I adjust or would I hold out for someone whose views were similar to mine? Would I ever ever in some situation be able to stop thinking for two seconds and just go ahead with it?

When I think back to when Jake and I first admitted our attraction to one another, I can actually see it happening. We were so careful not to rush things, but it was difficult not to. If I felt early on that a man could be a true friend as well as everything else, I think I could.

Don't mind me, just thinkin' out loud.... or overthinking out loud. :p

I thought the same way, CG. After I broke up with the fiance, I was kinda iffy. But after you've been in a relationship that long, you tend to move pretty fast doing things you have been comfortable doing with someone else (in my case, not everyone's).

I mean, Pallywhackr and I didn't even make it to dinner the first night we met. But then again, we had been talking for a few months so we were ready to cut through the chase ;)

But since you and your fella are going very strong, I wouldn't worry about it! You're so lucky!

:) Thanks. I feel lucky, too. Yeah, like I said, it's just one of those random things I wonder about. I spend more energy thinking about things for us to try. If I'm going to commit, I'm going to commit to trying everything once!!

"Seven" is a great number to say. Manwhore is not a fun title... ask ElJuski, I get called that occasionally. :(

See, here's my take on this subject.

I like people.

Plain and simple, that's it. I like people. I like knowing people. I like partaking in people. I am a people person. And I'm pretty damn good at being a people person; pretty damn good at reading people and trying to understand them. And there's a very Enders Game view to the whole subject: You cannot defeat your enemies without knowing them. You cannot know them completely without loving them. So I love everyone I meet, as long as they're not an asshat. Everyone is special in their own little way. Everyone is unique. Even those people with amazingly bad personality defects have amazingly good reasons why their way of life is completely logical. I want to know them, and understand them.

Then put my penis in them.

For the record, I have never had an STD even given the large number of partners. If you're safe, the odds of getting one are very slim.

Truth. I've met people who look at condoms and say "OMG FOR EVERY 100 PEOPLE YOU SLEEP WITH YOU HAVE A .2% CHANCE OF CATCHING SOMETHING BECAUSE THEY'RE 99.8% EFFECTIVE" and I just laugh at them. Silly people. Didn't you take statistics? That chance is per condom. On a related note, do you know what is the most mathematically sound way to prevent pregnancy barring abstinence? Combination spermicide lube and pulling out is more effective than regular condoms.

Every time I hear "ABSTINENCE SHOULD NOT BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS" I throw that little tidbit in there.
